That sounds quit involved so say the least.
Parts houses around the world would be able to take advantage of that, more
so than we would. Yes, it would be nice, including prices! :) on those
cross reference searches. Hint, hint.
What about the maintence of keeping it updated, and any libility for
inaccuracies? Copy right infringement? Just a few thoughts.
What about building in an online ordering system (Credit Card) that you
could also select a dealer or reseller with a flat % discount and have
quick math perfromed as someone goes through shopping for parts and wants
to know the price and grand total if they buy it from one reseller opposed
to another or even *GASP* a dealer?
